    A banger from Warren Zevon… And… have we done Carouselambra yet? A disco-prog masterpiece.
  2. wateroftyne
    I would agree with this.

    Tone of roundwounds with tone rolled off ≠ Tone of flats

    Just go with the flats. Remember tho - they’re all about the mids. Don’t scoop them out.

    Ah, Essex Recording Studios. Love them. A couple of weeks ago, the family of a a dear, departed friend put his guitars through auction. Essex paid about £6,500 for this one, and they're trying to flip it for a canny mark-up: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185819410017?fbclid=IwAR0XG4EzMQm-E6JQlCETFOCFmAXWVhDrwWfsn6AzR4bL4BpevvjEhoKNLck And of course, they're fully entitled to do this. Good luck to 'em. Kind-of.

    I wear them for gigs 100% of the time. I'm not sure if I understand the definition of ear fatigue, but I've also taken to wearing them in some situations where there's a lot going on, even if it's not necessarily at dangerously loud levels. They just help things feel a little... calmer. And because of the flat response, you can still have conversations.

    I specced both of mine with Hipshot B’s. Lovely bridges.

    Once in a Lifetime. A masterclass in minimalism and stubbornness.

    ...and look how much it's popped up on Reverb for: https://reverb.com/uk/item/66798899-fender-precision-bass-with-rosewood-fretboard-1966-sunburst-made-in-usa-ser-no-1xxxx6-includes-hard-case

    A couple of beauties under the hammer at the Gardiner Houlgate guitar auction this morning. A lovely-looking 66P 'burst refin went for £3000, and a 63P Oly refin went for £4400. Both also subject to a +26% buyer's premium.

    14 minutes talking about a bass, and about 30 seconds sliding around on it like a toddler on roller skates. Next thing you know it'll be James Corden doing a demo of an F-22 Raptor.

    Of all the Lonnie Donegan tunes, you chose Chewing Gum... gah!
  14. wateroftyne
    Yep, that’s why I don’t touch it 🙂
  15. wateroftyne
    Yeah, never touch it.

    Everything flat for me too - I just turn the input gain up until it starts to get spicy. It sounds mint.
  17. wateroftyne
    Hmm.. not my cuppa tea. Retails for about £1500.
  18. wateroftyne
    Nice work!
  19. wateroftyne
    To be fair… if you’re after that tone and you can’t do wet farts on demand, there aren’t many other options out there.

    Still nothing. I fear no news is not good news.
  22. wateroftyne
    I'm trying to work out what the actual issue might be here. Are you saying there's no friction and you can't stop your hand moving in time..??

    Re: my slightly vague ‘AccuSwitch’ reference earlier, this was a minor scandal about 20 years(!) ago, in which respected cab builder Accugroove added a mysterious sealed black box to their cabs which they claimed offered switchable impedance. It was swiftly identified as snake oil. A very strange move. I’m sure @Bill Fitzmaurice remembers that one!
